All the time. Its that suicidal locust that insists on staying right in front of my face as I speed down the highway on my motorcycle that bothers me most. I swerve left, it follows. I swerve right, it adjusts it's kamikase course accordingly. The vehicles behind me start slowing down fearing that something far more serious is wrong with me and wait for me to fly off the road. Then they too see the grasshopper, big as a small bird, determined to make a statement with this, his final act. We rush towards each other, I still think I can avoid the inevitable 'meeting of the minds'. It is resolute to meet it's fate and my teeth at about the same time.
It is juicy, with a crunchy exterior that reminds me of toasted coconut, only not as sweet. It is just a bit more than a mouthfull, and it causes me to cough, and some of it trickles back along my cheek to mix with what I can only assume was a coconspiritor, encountered some 6 or 7 miles earlier. It tasted similar, but had a texture more like a nougat, but then I wasn't traveling as fast then.
I don't really mind eating a bug, it's just ramming it down my throat unexpectedly that always freaks me out.

Luckily no I never had a bug in my drink, at least as far as I know.
I've had friends that often complained about getting hit in the face and swallowing bugs while on their motorcycles.
I have inhaled plenty of gnats while landscaping the property. When they swarm they are impossible to avoid. Oddly the bugs have a slightly sweet taste and would go good with a Chardonnay, a port or a halb-trocken (semi-sweet) German white wine.

A bug? No. But this one time at my National Guard annual training, there were a bunch of sitting around after duty hours, drinking beer. I picked up what I thought was my can, and took a big gulp of it. I promptly threw up because there were cigarette butts in it.
Nastiest thing ever!

No. But, luckily, at a picnic, you're outside. You can spit it out.
